I tried using my camera using auto flash but no flash came out. Error E:91:01 keep on flashing in my camera.

This may be solved by doing a reset to the camera. There is a setting in the menu called Initialize, and it should reset the camera back to factory default.Word of warning though. You will lose any pictures on it when you do this, so down ...

Nikon D40 pictures taken but too dark even in AUTO mode with flash on a bright day. also, some days ago I had the Shutter release error message while taking some photos. After that, the camera is acting weird, pictures sometimes are taken but the picture is always dark, although flash is used and AUTO mode selected. I do not see the error message anymore, but the camera simply do not take pictures properly. I tried formatting, etc with no result.

I am using an Olympus E-500. and am trying to use the
built in flash, set to one eight or to one sixty fourth of normal output, to trigger an external flash unit. The camera is set to "Vivid", manual, auto focus, and iso 100. From the "manual flash" menu I should be able to select either full, 1/4. 1/16 or 1/64 of the output. However, those choices never light up. I keep cycling through the first two lines of the menu and never reach the third line with the light output options I want. P

I was taking test photos around the house with my new camera and the flash won't fire properly (the flash pops up out of the camera but it makes little sparking sounds and flickering on and off). I've tried various modes including auto night etc but it won't stop flickering (just sparking sounds and a flickering flash like a light bulbs does just before it blows).also I have tried taking images using the basic auto mode in a low lit area and the flash pops up but does not fire.

Olympus c-3000 3.3 megapixel keeps giving me a card error. The camera won't let me do anything. if I try to view the pics on the camera, it tells me no card, if I try to take a pic, it tells me card error. I can not use any buttons on the camera.

I have a Pentax K 100 D. I have tried using a Flash Memory card (a Sandisk Ultra 16GB) but without success. The message 'Memory Card Error" is displayed even before I could format it.
The card had previously been used to store files from my PC (where it worked perfectly) but the camera could not format it even after I had removed all the files etc by reformatting it in the PC (FAT32).
Is there any way I can get to use this flash card in my camera?

"lens error" when i turn the camera on to shoot photos, the display says "lens error". It sounds as if the lens mechanism is trying to open, but it doesn't move. Lights keep flashing. I am able to view pictures I have already taken, but not able to take pictures. I have tried recharging the batteries and replacing them, but it did not fix the camera.

This happened to me last month. You can send it to Nikon for a free estimate on repairs. You only pay the shipping and they will ship it back to you if you decide not to fix it for free....only they don't tell you what is wrong with it. I suppose ...

I have a Nikon S6 digital camera, everything about the camera seems to work fine, except for this "lens error" message I keep getting. Sometimes I'll turn it on, and I can use it just fine. But then there are other times where I have to turn it off and on in order to get it to work. And then there are those times where turning it off and on don't help. I usually give up and try again later. Sometimes it'll still give that error message, and other times, it will just work like normal.
What can

E11 error. I purchased this camera used and can not get the camera to start. A indicator lite flashes green for a few seconds then red/yellow and shuts down. I have removed the flash memory card and reinserted without change. The batteries are fresh and it is connected to a charger. I am missing the cable to connect it to my computer but will get one and try to install an update to the drivers/firmware soon.

I have a 10D which used to belong to my editor. I have noticed that at times the camera refuses to take a picture, and flashes up an error message which is either 'Err OS' or 'Err 05' (I'm not sure which).
How can I pyt this right.
I think that when the error occurs the caera is trying to pop open the built-in flash, at least someone told me that today.

When I try to use the built-in flash I get 'Busy', then an error message and it suggests re-installing the battery. Tried but no good. The camera won't automatically start the flash for indoor photos either. Help!!!

I can not get the auto flash to work The screen shows on the left: iso auto, a box, M1 on the right the flash symbol A, auto, steady hand symbol, 1375 I try to take a picture and the camera won't take unless I turn off the flash. I have tried to change many settings in the function area, but I can not figure out what I accidentally changed in the first place. please help me to get my camera to work in the auto mode again

I have a Nikon Coolpix L14. I have had it for a while but it hasn't been used very often. I took it to the beach one day, in a plastic bag, and a few grains of sand made their way into the bag.

And yes , I HAVE tried compressed air, it didn't work

Blurry pics The last time I used this camera, most of the pictures came out very blurry. I had to try to hold the camera completely still to keep them reasonably clear. These were just pictures of people, no sports, etc. It was on the usual auto setting. Even the ones that weren't too blurry were very grainy. It has worked fine in the past and I have never dropped it or gotten it more than rained-on wet. What could be the problem?

Go into the setup menu and scroll to "reset" and follow the on-screen instructions. Sometimes that will restore your camera to original specs. ...

I have a Nikon D80 and the camera locks up and won't take a picture - the F keeps blinking and it won't lock into a f3.5 or whatever so you can take a pciture - why would this happen ? I generally use it in the auto mode - sometimes I try to switch to manual mode - it will allow me to take a pciture then switch back to auto and it seems to work for awhile - but it will just go back into lockdown mode and it is very frustrating -

Remove the lens, clean the contacts, reattach the lens, and jiggle the lens to seat the contacts. ...

My built in flash won't fire in dark sceneries, it worked fine a coupl of hours ago. Every setting is in auto, Is it related to other setings? The camera works fine in bright areas except during the dark due to the flash freezing the shutter. Can I fix this with setting adjustments? I already tried using the master reset but it didn't work.

I have a Canon EOS 40D camera. We are having problems with using an external flash. The pictures always come out extremely dark with the external flash. The flash seems to work fine, it flashes brightly. The pictures look fine using the built in flash. The flash is a Promaster but we tried a Canon flash and it did the same thing. The camera store we bought the camera and the flash from says it looks like a synchronization issue and that it is a hardware problem with the boot. Their sugges

I don't know if this will help and this post is two months old. The \015\012camera store may be right that the synchronization is the issue which \015\012tends me to point a finger at the external flash. There are at least \015\012three different fla ...

Camera flash i generally use my camera on auto mode so i don't have to play around with buttons! however after loaning my camera to my sister for a week my flash is no longer as great as it was!! I used to take pics and the flash would light 2-3 times giving a great, bright picture. It now flashes once before the pic is snapped giving a dark picture. If i push the flash button on the left side of the scrolling circle it goes from red eye flash (which flashes once) to no flash! I'm almost certain

No worries, I think I can help you with this one.\015\012I believe that if you are using your Samsung Digimax in either "Auto" or "M" mode you will only have the options of "red eye flash" or "no flash". BUT HOWEVER, if you select the "Prog" mo ...

Flash Error Hi there, bought this camera about 6 months ago. I'm intermittently getting a problem with the pop-up flash. It pops up fine, but the screen gives me an error telling me it hasn't and won't take any shots. Have to keep switching it off and on and hoping it will work again. Sometimes it's a couple of days before it works again. It will take shots when I switch the camera to the 'no flash' setting, so it does seem to be just the flash. The error says that the flash release is jamming,

The error 5 can mean that there is something blocking the flash from popping up. If it is up but still get the message then you need to check to see if the little black pin/stick that lets the camera know that the flash is up, is not stuck. With the ...
